Just a reminder
When dropping off students, please make sure to always pull up to the end of the sidewalk at pole #4. All additional vehicles should pull up behind the vehicle in front of them. Students may exit the vehicle once they are located at a sidewalk spot. For their safety, they should not exit the vehicle on the grass. Should you need to exit the vehicle to assist a child with getting out of the vehicle, please pull over to the side by the parking lot.
When picking up students, please form 2 lines on either side of the circle drive. Our goal is to keep everyone safe. Therefore, we ask everyone to stay in their vehicle, not call students to a vehicle, and stay off of phones. If a child needs assistance with buckling, we ask vehicles to please pull over to the parking lot. This will assist us in keeping vehicles off of the highway.
Please help us provide safety to everyone by sharing this information with anyone dropping off or picking up students.
Thank you and have a great day. ;
